A mischievous coincidence of the calendar means that England head back to
McLean Park in the art deco capital of New Zealand tomorrow on the fifth
anniversary of one of the most far-reaching limited-overs games that they
have contested. It will be an occasion for reflection rather than
celebration.

The hour or so after the fixture at this venue on February 20, 2008, marked
the beginning of the end for Peter Moores as the head coach. Almost halfway
through his 20 months in the post, his grip on authority was never as strong
because of a single, misguided decision.
